Hi everyone.
I guess some of you may want to know what\’s been happening in my life.
On the one hand not much and on the other hand a lot.
As for trivial kind of things, Truffles peed in my new $70 hand bag, please don\’t ask my why, I have no idea but I wasn\’t very happy about it.
Its been very hot here, not just hot but humid and there have been many bad storms, with people losing their rooves, trees crashing down, flash flooding etc. We are told there will be more to come for summer.
My courtcase is progressing slowly and now it seems will definitely go to court in late January, I will believe that when I see it.
I have had two excruciatingly bad migraines in the last three weeks, one a couple of days after having a massage and the other was due to hormones (you guys out there probably won\’t understand that one). Lately my blood pressure has been a bit elevated, which is unusual for me, I usually have excellent blood pressure, so my doctor thought it could either be due to stress or the pill.
So I had a massage for the stress and stopped taking the pill, which I was taking in the first place to try and control those hormonal migraines.
It sucks having migraines, you know once it starts you can\’t do much to stop it except sleep for three days, and I felt so sick and alone it was really horrible.
But I am finally feeling better and am seeing the doctor again tomorrow to see what we can do about it and to see how my blood pressure is.
Am I boring you all with this?
The other day I just felt like I wanted to sleep until xmas, new year and my birthday were all over.
I am pretty much an orphan this xmas with all my friends going away and you all know I don\’t talk to my siblings anymore, and my parent have passed away.
So this xmas is going to be hard but I am trying to keep positive. I have bought oil paint and canvas so hope to do some painting.
Maybe I will spend some time at the local pool having a swim.
I do have a costume party to go to on xmas eve and am going as a lion. Its dress as in Roman times. So I will be there to eat the Christians, haha just joking…hmmm maybe if there is a tasty man or two there, you never know!
I can\’t say I have been very happy lately but I am making an extra special effort to be positive, although Truffles peed on my Dalai Lama book (what has she got against him, I wonder) and I had to wash it and leave it out to dry.
Xmas is supposed to be a happy time of year but for so many its the saddest time of year. I think about those people out there for whom it is not as jolly as it should be and hope that they get through it.
I so appreciate all the great friends I have made here on 360 and wish I could keep up with emailing you all. I just want you to know that I do think about you, and that for those of you with health problems I wish so much you would be better, those of you with family problems, I hope things will settle down over the holidays and into the new year. And to everyone else who has ever left a kind comment or just said hi, I just want to thank you for visiting me.
There are many of you I would like to meet in person, but we all live so far apart. I guess its just nice to know that some where out there I have friends even if you aren\’t right here with me.

Spiders…
A couple of weeks ago I posted a picture of a rather large orb spider eating a small bird. These spiders live in the garden but the spiders we have that tend to invade our homes are called \”Huntsman Spiders\”.
This morning when I woke up I looked down into the bowl of my toilet to see hundreds of tiny spiders running around.
They were baby hunstman spiders. Funny though I really haven\’t noticed any hunstman in my bathroom but one or two must have snuck in somehow.
Now even those these spiders are very large they don\’t usually bite and they aren\’t poisonous just painful.
I think just about everyone I know has a story about huntsman. Like a girl I knew who put on her overcoat only to notice in the mirror that a rather large one was perched on her shoulder.
I have lived in a flat that they seemed to love and subsequently thousands of the babies would drop down from the ceiling when they hatched.
Once I woke up in the middle of the night and felt a cobweb on the bed, I went back to sleep only to wake up to see my husband roll over and beneath him was a dead huntsman.
For some reason these spiders seem to really like toilets and the number of times I have had huge ones hiding under the lip on the toilet are too numerous to mention.
When we first moved north, I was about ten and there were so many more here than in Sydney. I was terrified of them and if there was one on the ceiling of my bedroom I would lie awake all night with the light on only to find I had fallen asleep and it had dissapeared!
Anway, they do eat the mozzies which is a good thing, and I have geckos which in turn eat the spiders.
Haha. The circle of life.
